We live in amazing times. With video cameras in every hand on just about every corner, we get to witness some incredible things. Some of them are interesting and fun, while others are just downright despicable.

One video that falls into the latter category captured a grown man kicking a little boy at a fast food restaurant.

The video showed a man standing with his back to the cash register counter, talking on his phone. An excited little boy ran up to the counter, ready to place an order. The man on the phone turned around and swiftly kicked the boy for no apparent reason.

It’s truly sad to see someone react so violently to a small child.

Perhaps the boy was expressing his excitement a little too loudly as the man tried to carry on a conversation on the phone. I suppose stepping outside to have that conversation was simply too much trouble.

Whatever reason the man had for kicking the boy was a bad one, because as soon as the boy’s father saw what happened, he didn’t hesitate to put the man in his place — and that place happened to be on the floor.
